Nowadays majority of students in Cameroon have facebook accounts. It is a common phenomenon to see students engage in all forms of communications or activities on facebook. The extent to which these activities affect students’ psycho-social adjustment is questionable. That is why this paper is designed to examine the effects of Facebook usage as a new cultural tool for psycho-social adjustment among students. This study uses the descriptive design with triangulation (Qualitative and Quantitative) as the method. Through questionnaires and interview guide, 276 students of both first and second cycle participated in this study. Data are analysed with MANOVA, using the Wilks Lambda formular with an Alpha level of 0.05. The results revealed that, Facebook usage is a new cultural tool for psycho-social adjustment. The new cultural tendency is that Facebook usage has intensified cultural comparison among individuals as well as groups. This cultural comparison at times causes depression among students especially if the user makes negative comparisons between themselves and others.
